Abstract
Malignancy has been reported with chronic lymphedema, especially lymphangiosarcoma. The authors report on a patient with lymphedema due to filariasis, presenting with an ulcerated pigmented lesion that was malignant melanoma. A literature search revealed no previous report of such lesions existing together.

Abstract
BACKGROUND COPD patients with chronic bronchitis include a subgroup with persistent sputum production on most or every day. We hypothesized that COPD patients with persistent sputum production have a different profile of airway inflammation, and more severe clinical characteristics. OBJECTIVE To compare the airway inflammation profile and clinical characteristics of COPD persistent and non-persistent sputum producers. METHODS COPD persistent sputum producers (n = 26) and non-persistent sputum producers (n = 26) underwent sputum induction and pulmonary function tests. Exacerbation history was recorded; the St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire, Modified Medical Research Council Dyspnoea scale and COPD Assessment Tool were completed. 33 COPD patients provided sputum for bacteriology. RESULTS Persistent sputum producers had lower post-bronchodilator FEV1% predicted (p = 0.01), diffusion capacity (p = 0.04), 6 min walk test distance (p = 0.05), and higher closing volume (p = 0.01), BODE index (p = 0.01), rate of bacterial colonization (p = 0.004) and exacerbations (p = 0.03) compared to non-persistent sputum producers. The mean SGRQ and CAT scores were higher in persistent sputum producers (p = 0.01 and 0.03 respectively). Sputum neutrophil and eosinophil total cell counts were higher in persistent sputum producers (p = 0.02 and 0.05 respectively). Sputum levels of eotaxin (p = 0.02), MCP-1 (p = 0.02), TNF-α (p = 0.03) and IL-6 (p = 0.05) were higher in persistent sputum producers. CONCLUSION COPD persistent sputum producers have more severe clinical characteristics and increased concentrations of some inflammatory mediators in the airways.
